Save the Women's Shed Queenstown - it's time to build our own Shed!

At the Women's Shed, we reckon women can do anything blokes can - sometimes they just need the opportunity and encouragement to give it a go. We are a registered charity offering a friendly, no-judgement space where women can pick up tools, build their confidence, and learn practical skills together.

For the last 2 years, we've been running beginner and intermediate workshops in a borrowed workshop space - with over 450 wāhine coming through our doors!

🚨 BUT our lease is ending soon! We desperately need a new home to meet the sustained demand for our courses, expand our offering to work with young and marginalised people, create pathways into trades, and create a drop in space for all local women to come in and get on the tools.

And what better way than to build our own Shed! 💪

We have found a new home at Country Lane in Frankton, and need to begin building early 2026. We have local funders onboard to support the project, but we are still going to be just shy of our target.

That's why we turning to our local community for support.

Every dollar counts to make our new Shed a reality! 🙏
